Circumstance
Garrett had to calm himself before he could comfort Elice. But Elice's broken sobs in his embrace nearly shattered the usual calm that clung to him. Truly, he felt a threatening tightness that seemed ready to explode and crush his chest in the near future. It was agonizing.
Elice's screams, tears, and the tightness of her hands wrapped around him, along with her face landing on his chest, were a perfect combination to darken Garrett's eyes. He would not ask what had happened. The fear and suffering Elice was going through was so vivid to Garrett.
"G-Garrett."
Even her trembling voice conveyed unmistakably all the horrors that had enveloped Elice. Her body was cold. It felt so fragile.
"A-Are you okay?"

When Elice accepted Garrett's invitation, she had no idea of the consequences of her answer. That by agreeing to be Garrett's date to Brenda's birthday party, she would have to go through a series of activities. From picking out a dress, shoes, and a bag.

"You bastard, Garrett."Garrett's jaw tightened. "Aren't you the bastard?" he retorted. "You should be grateful to Elice for not reporting you to the police. I wonder how Aunt Farrah would react if she saw your misdeeds."Ariel growled. He stood up, wiping the blood from his nose with his hand.Garrett held his breath, knowing he would get a third punch and a second kick if he decided to stay. He had to leave immediately. Before he lost control completely."We're leaving, Elice."Garrett grabbed Elice's hand and wanted to take her away right away. But Ariel's voice made him stop."You know, Garrett?

Out of breath, Elice fought to keep breathing. She clung to the wall behind her, trying to stay standing while her knees felt like they were melting. She could collapse at any moment. Fortunately, there was a strong hand firmly supporting her waist, preventing that possibility.Garrett's fingers traced Elice's jaw, lifting it as the owner leaned down to erase the opening of Elice's parted lips with a kiss that eagerly welcomed him. Elice's hand rose and cupped the curve of Garrett's as his lips further weakened her already shaky knees. She needed stronger support than just the wall.Garrett pressed his lips against Elice's, moving with a rhythmic flow that made Elice squirm. He pushed forward, pinning Elice between his body and the wall, leaving no meaningful distance between them.The kiss stopped, and with a breath as labored as Elice's, Garrett felt his body tense with each passing second. He opened his eyes, struggling to see how Elice, seemingly as helpless

When consciousness returned, Elice opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She tried to adjust her retinas to the surroundings—bright and slightly blinding from the light that managed to get in through the ventilation.Elice remembered vaguely. It was one of the things she liked about the unit Garrett had prepared for her. The layout and equipment of the room allowed the light of life to enter, providing illumination that could disturb her peaceful sleep.Just like what Elice had experienced this morning. Although, in reality, it wasn't just the sunlight that was the sole reason for her awakening. Instead, there was also a faint touch that had been greeting her hair ever since.

What did you just say?"With that question, Wilda turned away. She looked at Elice, who looked pale. It was exactly the same as Wilda's expression.
